Clinton, Trump separated by 1 point in latest poll

October 30, 2016 20:36

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are separated by a single point in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll one week after that survey showed Clinton holding a 12-point lead.

The poll, released Sunday, has Clinton with 46 per cent voter support and Trump with 45 per cent.

The candidates were within 2 per cent of each other on September 22, but Clinton built a double-digit lead after her challenger's erratic debate performances and mounting sexual harassment accusations. Sunday's poll says Trump also took a hit by having House Speaker Paul Ryan refuse to keep campaigning for him.

But Clinton's lead has diminished after FBI Director James Comey announced Friday the bureau is investigating new emails that could be related to Clinton's use of a private email server.
